Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS) Blood Test

Measures

DHEAS, an adrenal hormone.

Why it matters

DHEAS is produced by the adrenal glands and acts as a precursor to other sex hormones. Because it circulates at relatively stable levels compared with DHEA, it's the more practical measurement.

Levels decline with age, which is normal rather than a finding — age-matched reference ranges matter here more than most.

Suits

People working with a practitioner on adrenal or androgen questions.
